/ta-leg-gio/
Taleggio DOP is a soft cheese from Lombardy, made with cow’s milk. It has a thin, pinkish rind and a soft paste that ranges in color from white to straw yellow.
The flavor is sweet with slight acidic notes that become more pronounced as the cheese ages. As a washed-rind cheese, it is distinguished by its aroma of undergrowth and dried fruits. Protected by the DOP designation, it maintains its traditional production methods and strong connection to the Lombardy region.
The origin mark is imprinted during the curing process. With DOP status, Taleggio guarantees authenticity and preservation of its local heritage.
